RGB LED moodlight

thingiverse

I built around fifty RGB LED mood lights to set up at guest tables during a party. This project involved attaching neopixel rings containing 16 RGB LEDs each, one on top and another on the bottom of the device. To control them, an Arduino board paired with the neopixel library is ideal, although I employed an ESP8266 module coupled with a lipo battery pack in each light. The small bottom hole houses a massive 25000 mAh battery pack that ensures the lights stay functional all through the night. Assembling these units was a straightforward process involving no additional supports or rafts during the printing phase. However, the lower part needs to be separated after printing with the support still intact. I printed each top part using a 'spiral' technique, resulting in an extremely thin light hood. Following that, I installed both the upper and lower LED rings while connecting the required wires for each unit. Each device then consisted of parts securely bonded together by several drops of super glue. I subsequently inserted all electronic components within the outer portion. Writing software code isn't allowed as this is a vital component of a DJ show but creating this is pretty easy; one needs to establish connections between hardware devices. There must be at least a single app on either an iPad, iPhone or any standard PC that can output 120 bytes per data package through the socket to any designated address. Since each moodlight will possess unique address. This ensures not only LED light hues are perfectly synchronized, but their overall intensity level. All such tasks involve setting up a particular port for the app using either of the three platforms available to get around 120 values via specific ip to control both LEDs installed and set as one massive neopixel RGB chain. Each device contains 3 bytes each for all of its forty individual LEDs: Red, Blue & Green, this controls LED color and even brightness! To make everything easy to handle in actual software implementation I can tell you that, setting up all those lights connected as large pixels chain requires merely ESP with appropriate ide program in order which you have a complete set and all devices run using the data.
